The Miller's Compares feature shows two seemingly similar items and explains why they can achieve different prices. The Look without the Price identifies how you can achieve an authentic look by buying antiques in the style of more famous makers or of earlier eras, and how to buy exquisite pieces fashioned by leading designers but at affordable prices.
